HAIR-wanna DEVICE.

Application filed July 21,

This invention relates to a device for waving or marcellinghair. I

The principal object of the invention 1s the provision of a device ofthe indicated charac ,ter embodying novel features of constructionconnection with the accompanying drawing, 7

. in which.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device .shown open.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the device closed,

and parts being broken away to show certain features.

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the device shown i pair of elements 22 aresimilarly associated closed. I

Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken approximately onthe line 4-4 of Fig. 2,and looking in the direction indicated by the arrows.

Referring now. more particularly to the several views of the drawing, itwill be apparent that, the device includes a pair oflever members and 11which are connected with each other for relative pivotal movement by g apivot 12. Each of the lever members 10 and Y11 has a handle 13. Thelever member 10 has rigidly connected therewith a plurality of;-

waving members 14' and 15. Each of the waving members 14 1s 1n the formof a channel, the same being substantially ofU-shap The cross p ece 24has a lug 29 with which i one end of a member 30 is pivotally connectedas at 31, and. the oppositeend of said member 30 is pivotally connectedas at 3 2 with'ainemin cross section, and each of said members 14 isprovided witha longitudinal slot 16. The said waving members 14 areconnected together in spaced and parallel relationship by members 17,respectively extending across the opposite ends thereof and securedtoportions of the members 14 in any suitable manner. The lever member 10is provided with angular portions which are respectively connected withthe member 17 as at 18. The waving members are of similar shape, eachbeing substantially J-shaped, and are respectively disposed at oppositesides of the group of waving members 14, and are also. attached at theopposite ends to said members 17. The lever member 11 has connectedtherewith transversely thereof a cross bar 19 with which are connected aplurality of hair waving members or irons 20. One end of each of thewaving members or irons 20 is rigidly connected with the bar 19,and saidirons 20are disposed 1928. Serial 1%(294516.

in spaced and parallel relationship, and-are adapted to move between thewaving mem-- bers 14 and 15 120 cooperate therewith to produce simplewaves in the hair.

In orderto convert the simple waves of the hair producedfby the wavingmembers 14, 15

and 20 into compound or Marcel waves, there I -is provided means whichis operated by the movement of the lever. members 10 and .11. V

The said means includes-pairs of hair engagmg elements 21 and22. Each ofthe elements 21 and 22 is in the form of a comb presenting teeth 23. Thepair of elements 21 are connected together by a cross piece 24,.and thepair of elements 22 are connected together slot 16 of therelate'd member14.} The other with the other two waving members 14, and

the teeth 23; of eachof these elements extending downwardly through theslot 160i the related member 14, asshownmost clearlyiin thereof whichslide in contact with the-related i member14, Longitudinally disposedmem- Qbers 27 having the opposite, ends thereof re 3 spectlvelyconnected as at 28 with themember Y 17- prevent relativeupward movementofthe elements 21 and 22 with respect to the waving, mambers 1 4, while.the' pins 26 prevent rela tive downw'ard movementof said elements.

ber 33 pivotally connected with the lever member 10,as at 34. The crosspiece 25 has rigidly secured thereto an upstanding mem ber 35, the upperend of which ispivotally v connected as at 36 with one end of a member37, the opposite end of which is pivotally connected as at 38 wlth themember33. The

lever member 11 has an .arm 39. I A. link 40 has one end thereofconnected with the arm 39 by a pivot 41 which maybe disposed in any oneof the holes 42 in said arm. The opposite end of the link 40 has alongitudinally disposed slot 48 which accommodates a pivot 44 1 on themember 37. The arrangement of the parts is such, that whenpressure isapplied and 15, the elements 21 and 22 will be moved relatively to theirrelated waving members 14, the elements 21 being moved forwardly, andthe elements 22 being moved rearwardly while engaged with the strands ofthe hair,

just prior to the clamping engagement of the waving members 14, and withthe strands of the hair.. It will therefore be understood that thewaving members 14, 15

and 20 will produce simple waves in the hair,

while the elements 21 and 22 will further wave the hair to produce thewell known marcel eiiect. The side portions of the waving members 14 and15 will be flexible to some extent, and as a consequence the wavingmembers or irons 20 will cooperate therewith to effectually crimp orcrease the strands of hair,

r to the end that the waves in the hair will be well defined andlasting. By imparting relative separating movement to the handles 13,the device may be readily disengaged from the hair without in any Waydeforming the waves produced.

It is to be understood that the invention is not restricted to theprecise arrangement of parts shown and described, as details ofconstruction may be modified and rearranged without departing from thespirit of the in- 1 vention, the scope of which is limited only byrelatively spaced members which move between and cooperate withthe firstgroup of members, means connecting the groups of waving members togetherfor movement toward and away from each other, groups of:

hair engaging members respectively associated with and projectingthrough the convex waving members for relative longitudinal movement,means to move said groups of waving members toward and away from eachother, and means operated by the operation of the last mentioned meansto move the groups of hair engaging members relatively in oppositedirections.

2. In a hair waving device, a group of interconnected spaced hair wavingmembers each of which is substantially of U-shape in cross section andprovided with a longitudinal slot, elements respectively associated withsaid waving members and each having hair engaging members which projectthrough the slot in the related member, a second group of interconnectedspaced hair waving members which cooperate with the first group to wavethe hair when brought into clamping engagement therewith, lever meansconnecting the groups of waving members together for relative movement,means connecting groups of said elements together, and means actuated bythe lever means in response to the actuation ofthe latter to move saidgroups of elements in relatively opposite directions, just prior to thefull engagement of the waving members with the hair.
